Hotel Indigo Inuyama Urakuen, a lifestyle boutique hotel situated in Inuyama, Aichi Prefecture — a city home to two national treasures — is introducing a Summer Wellbeing Stay Plan beginning May 6, 2026 (Wednesday, public holiday). The plan brings together seasonal dining, natural hot spring bathing, and wellness facilities to offer guests a restorative stay that draws on the flavors and landscapes of the Tokai region.
The dinner course centers on locally sourced vegetables and carefully prepared broths, with each dish reflecting the colors and character of the surrounding region. Upon arrival, guests are welcomed with herb tea in their room, while the hotel's natural hot spring and fitness center provide further opportunities to unwind and recharge.
Dinner Course
The wellness-focused dinner course highlights seasonal produce and the umami of dashi, with each course telling a story connected to this part of Japan.
Amuse: Winter Melon Simmered Jade-Style with Juuroku Sasage and Kinome Oil
Winter melon is simmered to a jade-like hue in a shojin (Buddhist vegetarian) dashi drawn from dried shiitake mushrooms and kombu. It is paired with juuroku sasage, a traditional vegetable of Aichi and Gifu Prefectures, and finished with an aromatic oil made from edamame and kinome.
Appetizer: Twenty-Four Seasons Vegetable Palette — Jardin Style
Inspired by the 24 solar terms of the traditional East Asian calendar, this dish features vegetables chosen for their peak flavor and nutritional value at the time of service. A variety of cooking methods and seasonings draw out each vegetable's individual character, arranged in a vibrant, garden-like presentation.
Soup: Shojin Dashi with Flowering Vegetables
A nourishing soup built on a shojin dashi base and adorned with flowering and green vegetables. Served alongside a bamboo-leaf-wrapped grilled onigiri seasoned with "yamauni" — a traditional condiment from the Kawata district of Sabae City, Fukui Prefecture — blended with miso. The onigiri can be enjoyed on its own or ochazuke-style by pouring the dashi over it.
Main: Lemongrass-Herb Roasted Lamb with Roasted Eggplant Purée and Kinenyaya Spiced Seven-Flavor Chili
Lamb is roasted with lemongrass and fresh herbs for a fragrant, aromatic finish, and served over a smooth roasted eggplant purée. Layered with spiced seven-flavor chili from Kinenyaya (近縁屋), a producer based in Gifu Prefecture, the dish adds subtle heat and aromatic depth.
Dessert: Ruby Lychee Warabi Mochi and Sorbet
A cooling combination of warabi mochi and sorbet that highlights the delicate sweetness of ruby lychee. The chilled, melt-in-the-mouth texture plays off the soft chewiness of the mochi, leaving a pleasant and refreshing finish.
Welcome Herb Tea
Guests will find herb tea from Ronnefeldt — a long-established German tea brand — waiting in their room upon check-in. The aromatic tea is intended to ease the transition into the stay and invite guests to settle into their own relaxed pace.
Fitness Center and Natural Hot Spring
Fitness Center
The fitness center is available 24 hours a day for hotel guests and features a design incorporating wooden louvers and Japanese patterns. Eco-friendly machines that minimize electricity consumption through hydraulic resistance are available alongside yoga mats, providing a comfortable space for exercise and movement.
Natural Hot Spring "Hakutei no Yu"
The natural hot spring "Hakutei no Yu" is known for its skin-softening properties. The open-air bath, set against an artistic backdrop and accompanied by ambient music, offers a particularly relaxing environment for unwinding after a day of exploration.
